Tidal Bore Rafting Resort

Had the best time rafting with my 19 year old daughter! I was so scared that I almost missed this once in a lifetime experience. Thank you to Brent, Lucas and Amber for having patience, reassuring me and convincing me to take the plunge! It wasn’t scary at all! Definitely try it!

We were in a quaint log cabin that had everything we needed. The bed was clean and comfortable, there was extra bedding and towels. It was quiet and peaceful as we soaked in the hot tub and watched the stars. A great place to unplug and relieve the stresses of daily life. We will definitely be back.

The cottage was great...lots of bottled water provided, BBQ grill.. the rafting trip was the issue....our raft's battery died moments before the arrival of the tidal bore....another raft guide drove by and tried to start it without success.....thus, we drifted for miles in the tidal churn without power, oars and only some occasional input from the raft guide....she contacted the office to be told that there was NO back up raft and the only other one sitting around the property was deflated, full of rain water and a broken transom. When we drifted by the landing, another employee stood 100 feet away on shore waving to us as we coasted on by (he was holding a rope, but the distance was too great for a toss!)...when the other rafts returned from their experience, some time later, one of them arrived empty to take the passengers back....while en route another rescue raft stopped next to us, and asked if WE had any rope!!! I mean, really....they sent a rescue raft without a rope? While we finally got back home safely, I never detected any sense of urgency from our guide nor the 'home office.' On their website you read 'we committed to your safety"....personally, after this experience, and having found out there are new owners since around April, that slogan should read 'committment to profits.' Competing raft companies down the river a bit send along a spare raft + driver, as who would not, running such a business. Not this one. No back up plans, no back up rafts, no rope, no 2 way radios....and no concern. Imagine drifting along carried by the incoming tide ...from the Bay of Fundy!!!!! Whirling waters, criss crossing waves slopping our raft constantly, but no one seemed to care.

I've gone many times with this company (seven times), but this year, under new management, they lost my tickets and don't accept responsibility for it. Their solution is to milk more money by offering to move us to a more expensive tour (four hours). Something's clearly off with their management and administration, because I've gone many time with this company and had a fantastic guide and no issues booking, but now it's not a company I can recommend, not because of the tour itself, but just the struggle in dealing with them. Fortunately, it's a big river and there are other rafting companies.

Having been on the Shubenacadie before, this company was amazing. Very well the best experience all around - service, organization, safety and comfort. The lodges are incredible! Highly recommended!!

This was a great experience. The tides are determined by the moon and even my experience going at a Regular Tide was awesome. Our boat driver (Jacob) was able to read the river and get the most out of the time on the water. I would definitely recommend the 4 hour boat ride to make full use of the tidal bore. I felt safe and had such a fun time.
